[gst-devel] writing sample plugin

[Vinod Nanjaiah]

Hi!

I could not use "make_element" to create a sample plugin as I was unable to
access webcvs for downloading gst-template (the connection attempt times
out).
So, I followed the plugin writer's guide and wrote a sample plugin.

Now, when I try to compile this sample plugin, it gives an error.
Can somebody please guide me how to go about solving this.

I'm am trying to compile it with -
$> gcc -Wall $(pkg-config --cflags --libs gstreamer-0.10) my_filter.c -o
my_filter

This is the error that I get -
my_filter.c:404: error: âPACKAGEâ undeclared here (not in a function)

Line 404 contains the following declaration -
GST_PLUGIN_DEFINE(
	GST_VERSION_MAJOR,
	GST_VERSION_MINOR,
	"my_filter", 
	"My filter plugin", 
	plugin_init,
	"1.0", 
	"LGPL",
	"GStreamer", 
	"http://gstreamer.net"
);


Using VERSION, GST_LICENSE, GST_PACKAGE_NAME, GST_PACKAGE_ORIGIN in the above
structure gives "undeclared here (not in a function)" error.
But I replaced them with some strings.
However, the one that I am not able to understand is the 
"PACKAGE undeclared here (not in a function)" error.

Please help.

Regards,
PN
